— Near‐UV radiation in the UV‐B range prevented regeneration of segments of the turbellarian worm, Planaria . and reduced survival of intact animals as a direct function of the fluence supplied. Survival was photoperiod dependent suggesting dark‐repair capacity. Near‐UV radiation induced melanogenesis
